Descriptions (2)
This game is based on the permissible moves of the chess queen--
i.e., along any vertical, horizontal, or diagonal. In this game,
the queen can only move to the left, down, and diagonally down
to the left.
The object of the game is to place the queen (one only) in the
lower left-hand square (no. 150), by alternating moves between
you and the computer. The one to place the queen there wins.
You go first and place the queen in anyone of the squares on
the top row or the right-hand column. That is your first move.
The computer is beatab1e, but it takes some figuring. See if
you can devise a winning strategy.
